An explanation and some reflections

01tech.net February 11th, 2008 – At the Northwest hub for Netflix in Lakewood, there’s a woman who’s making sure you get your DVDs sent to you in plenty of time. She processes 950 Netflix movies an hour.

  1. Sooooo you’re not sorry you did it. You’re sorry you didn’t tell us why you did it. Uuuuh thanks? You know I canceled my subscription and honestly I don’t miss is. Red Box is just down the street and we get along fine.

  2. hey, let’s almost double our prices, great idea!

  3. DOUCHE BAGS!!!!! Not that great of service!!! Customer satisfaction… LOW!!!

  4. Wait… wait… you didn’t communicate the price increase I thought you are the CEO. I thought you run the company and you are sorry that you didn’t know O_o face the fact you are not sorry. You just mad that you company is going down the drain. I changed to Blockbuster and I am loving it!!!! You get video games and also newer movies. Sure Blockbuster cost is a little bit more but it worst it.

  5. Go fuck yourselves.

  6. This is why everyone will be moving back to Blockbuster.

  7. They won’t let me cancel

  8. I cant login either. I wanted to cancel my account, but it wont let me. So I tried calling but their phone # – it isnt working either! Help! They’ve got me by the balls and I cant do a thing!!!

  9. Fuckin netflix is not letting me login. Its being dumb

  10. we want Netflix called Netflix. Pay one company and get movies either DVD or streaming. Same company, one price, no confusing price structures.

  11. Called Netflix when I heard of the price increase, spoke to C.S. he had no empathy whatsoever and basically told me to cancel if I wasn’t happy!!! I cancelled DVD. Figured I’d keep streaming (at least for now) till I woke up one day and a lot of my instant QUE dissapeared. I soon realized they yanked most of the streaming that I liked and moved em to DVD only! Not only did they have a 60% price increase for my package, but now expect me to pay more for less??? Both now cancelled
    UNACCEPTABLE!

  12. I was supportive at first because blu-rays cost more and dvd’s have special fatures ect. Since I only watch streaming it didn’t seem to effect me. Now however the streaming choices are abysmal. The only one who can feel satisfied is someone who watches several hours of Veggie Tales a day.

  13. He says „We did it to privide the best service we possibly can“ BULL FUCKING SHIT. You did it so you can charge two fees instead of one because the billions you’ve made already isnt enough for you greedy fucks over there. Nobody understands it because it doesnt make any sense to anybody or benefit anybody but YOU and the moron sitting next to you.

  14. Bad Move Reed! I immediately cancelled my DVD subscrition upon the news of your greedy price increase! I just cancelled my streaming as well last week. Bad enough you let greed motivate you but you should have taken care of your existing and loyal customers, by locking their rates. I’ve been upset with your decision since I heard your annopuncement. I’ve now moved on to Blockbuster and won’t look back!Good luck with your lousy decision and scrambling from here out, you’ll need it!!!!!

  15. where are the games

  16. you fucked up reed, instead of that p.a you could have just said, ahh we were just fucking with you and we are not going to raise the price, that would have made me stay, but you stood to your guns and look at your stock now 68.50

  17. I feel like I’ve been pepper sprayed by Netflix

  18. Although I’m not happy with Netflx and the way they have handled things, I’m more disgusted with the content providers and the ‘value’ they place on their content.I don’t have a problem with these guys making money, I just don’t agree with what they ask for.. quite sad really and out of touch with reality. As far as Netflix? they should have never made such a radical change but instead, should have gradually made increases.

  19. their streaming wasn’t even that good

  20. @jdweick What does it mean to „run rickshaw“ over something? That’s one of the silliest eggcorns I’ve seen. The metaphor makes no sense because a rickshaw is a tiny one-passenger cart pulled by a single person, and the phrase doesn’t really sound like „run roughshod“ in the first place.

  21. @grasd2 ima goin to a dvd rental place

  22. you want to know what hilarious… if the reason for the price increase was so they can spilt the company, and now they realize how f-ing stupid that is. does this mean now they do not need the money to split the companies that they will be reducing the price? oh wait they are too busy with greed cock in their mouth.

  23. @hickmannon
    and this is why companies run rickshaw over us. People are afraid to take a stand. the service is worth what people are willing to pay, and for you its a drug your willing to spend more for. as for me i canceled, i want to send a message now that you can not treat customers this way. for netflix sadly its still a win less customers still more money incoming. so Dipshit gets to dance infront of his share holders. so until this moves actually costs them money then this will continue

  24. Fix you louzy selection of films on your streaming service 90% of it, is something no would ever rent!

  25. Not George Bush again same guy different name and same bullshit!

  26. @entropy44 Because the shipment fees would be outrageous if they outsourced the packaging department. And it would cost a lot of initial capital to get a machinedoing this, I don’t even know if it would be able to distinguish between the different titles or not.

  27. „What I like about my job uhmmm everybody works as a team, you push yourself harder…“ hahahah honey you work in a sweatshop

  28. wow these people are fast

  29. surprising to see american workers doing this sort of work. why haven’t they got robots doing this, or outsourced to asia and pay their workers $1/hour?

  30. @anynameplease Fair enough. But the manufacturing of DVDs is related to what Netflix does. And the work is better than . . . killing yourself. :)

  31. @dullhammer While it’s good honest work, it’s nothing that’s going to keep a country going. I’d rather have manufacturing jobs. I miss working in factories and actually making something that earned this country money. Service jobs, while very important, are nothing more than an exchange of wealth… YOu pay me a dollar to shovel your side walk of snow, and I pay you a dollar to do mine. In the US, we’ve just created 2 dollars of net worth for the country…

  32. are they even human or robots?

  33. That is good, honest work. Wish there was more of it around and not less. Person who says he/she would kill himself before taking such a job should be ashamed.

  34. It’s like… Foxconn – the American office… only without the inhumane cruelty. :P

  35. @missbigazzbooty Black people can’t insult someone without using curse words,lol. Don’t reply to this because you said you’ll give me the last word. Woohh California soul just put you in your place. check out my channel for the best westcoast gangsta rap people,no mainstream crap.

  36. @WestcoastMusicals LOL I SEE YOUR JUST SOME $8 HOUR PART TIME NETFLIX ENPLOYEE TALKING SHIT BEHIND A COMPUTER. LOL LMAO..IM GONNA LET YOU BE THE BITCH AND HAVE THE LAST WORD..
    IM DONE SHIT TALKING ASS HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. @missbigazzbooty I forgot to add,poor broke ghetto black people to the lsit of cry babies,over a few bucks extra per month…per month. Go slap yourself black girl.

  38. @WestcoastMusicals lol FUCK UP NIGGA

  39. @missbigazzbooty Redbox is 1 bucks per movie,the same movie.so you can watch 8 movies ,while I can watch unlimited movies and tv shows for that same 8 bucks,but for 1 month too. Get a brain you woman. P.S. I’m a man,so don’t even think of responding back to me,god won’t like that.

  40. @suspekt29 Well if you took it now then you’ll have a lot less work

  41. Sad work. People are getting idle as hell.

  42. fuck netflix redbox is way better

  43. thought robot do the work. WOW

  44. she’s going to have a bad case of arthritis in her fingers and hands when she’s old

  45. Atleast they get nice seats, they look comfortable.

  46. Why isn’t this automated?

  47. Gotta do what you gotta do for your family. I’m out of work now and nobody is even given me a ring back. Looks as if I have to do 2 PT jobs to make up for 1 FT just to save the house and provide for my family. My wife just had surgery and shes been out of work for over a month now and I’m helping my stepson with going to and from school. Defiantly, bless these folks…as it’s a job…and there is not that many jobs out there right now…

  48. That looks like a mexican maquiladora I used to work at aka sweat shop.. Imagine their carpotunner whatever its called lawsuits in a few years.. wow

  49. This is just a few steps away from a nazi concentration camp.

  50. they were so godlike too
